Capo II

[Intro]

D G Bm A D

[Verse]

D
The Mississippi Delta was shining
                        G
Like a National guitar
         Bm
I am following the river

Down the highway
                                                 A
Through the cradle of the civil war

[Refrain]

G                  D
I'm going to Graceland

Graceland
                             A
In Memphis Tennessee
       G            D           D C G
I'm going to Graceland

D
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
        A          G          D             D C G
And we are going to Graceland
       D                                                 A
My traveling companion is nine years old
G             D                                    D C G
He is the child of my first marriage
             D
But I've reason to believe
      A                     G
We both will be received
     D             D C G
In Graceland

D

[Verse]

D
She comes back to tell me she's gone
      G
As if I didn't know that
                                           Bm
As if I didn't know my own bed
     A
As if I'd never noticed
                                                              D
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

And she said losing love
                                      G
Is like a window in your heart
                                   Bm       G
Everybody sees you're blown apart
                               A
Everybody sees the wind blow

[Chorus]

       G           D
I'm going to Graceland
                           A
Memphis Tennessee
      G            D            D C G
I'm going to Graceland
D
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
       A          G           D             D C G
And we are going to Graceland

               D
And my traveling companions
                                    G
Are ghosts and empty sockets
                                         D          D C G
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
             D
But I've reason to believe
       A                G
We all will be received
     D           D C G
In Graceland

D

[Verse]

D
There is a girl in New York City
                                                         G
Who calls herself the human trampoline
          Bm
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying

Or tumbling in turmoil I say
A
WOh, so this is what she means
                           D
She means we're bouncing into Graceland

And I see losing love
                                      G
Is like a window in your heart
                                  Bm
Everybody sees you're blown apart
                               A
Everybody feels the wind blow

[Chorus]

                D                               D C G
Oooo in Graceland, in Graceland
                    D            D C G
I'm going to Graceland
                      D
For reasons I cannot explain
                                        A           G
There's some part of me wants to see
D             D C G
Graceland

                         D
And I may be obliged to defend
                            G
Every love, every ending
                            D                          D C G
Or maybe there's no obligations now
                     D
Maybe I've a reason to believe
      A                 G 
We all will be received
     D            D C G
In Graceland

D G Bm A D
